Hebrews 6:12 KJV — That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Inherit. That’s a verb, an action word.
And yet an inheritance is something that you receive as a gift by virtue of your birth and someone else’s death.
You were born into a family. And when somebody in your family dies, if they named you as an heir, then you receive an inheritance.
But the way you receive an inheritance is through faith and patience.
This isn’t often talked about.
Faith and patience are the two sides of the coin called inheritance.
Inherit the promises.
It’s a verb, i’s active and it’s a choice.
